20.01.2022 WHO I'M WALKING FOR: Rosie Pritchard "As many of you know, our little Arkie arrived extremely prematurely at just 28 weeks. For Zac and I, the journey through the NICU to bring him home was incredibly tough. However, we were very fortunate to be supported by Life’s Little Treasures Foundation during our time at Royal North Shore. Supporting this foundation is so important to us which is why next month I’m taking part in the 11th annual Walk for Prems. A crucial part of this ...event is fundraising as everything raised from Walk for Prems will go to the Foundation to support them in their work with premature & sick babies and their families. If you can, I’d be so grateful if you could sponsor me via the link in my bio so that I can make a difference in the life of another premature baby. Every little bit helps. Thank you " Rosie Thank you Rosie for sharing your story and supporting Walk for Prems 2020. So glad Arkie is doing so well and at home with you! If like Rosie, you are keen to give back as thanks for the support you received, by joining Walk for Prems, you can pay it forward and help new families in 2021 - as they only just begin their hospital journey. > Register your family and friends today to ensure you receive a race pack in time for this great community event: walkforprems.org.au. .....

20.01.2022 Meet David and Molly. They have been Walking for Prems since day one; in fact Molly was one of the reasons we are here today. Molly's mother, Shusannah Morris, Co-founder and our most recent CEO, spent 15 years building up the foundation to ensure that all families who unexpectedly found themselves giving birth prematurely or having a sick baby, were supported with information and understanding and not left to cope alone. Devastatingly, Shusannah lost her battle with cancer e...arlier this year, but her family, friends, colleagues and parents she's helped will all be walking on October 25 in her honour and to continue her legacy of helping families in need. Join Molly and her dad David and many others for our annual fundraiser, #walkforprems2020 to help make this the most successful walk, and one that ensures we can help even more families in 2021.

05.01.2022 20 Reasons to Walk in 2020: Number 13 Do great and feel great! Having a baby is meant to be one of the happiest moments of our lives, but when a family suddenly finds themselves having a premature or sick baby, they're thrust into a unknown and stressful environment. They need access to information, support and understanding, particularly when they are in hospital for months at a time without their usual support network of family and friends. ... By registering to get outdoors and walk 5kms on October 25th, you will be helping these families isolated in hospital as well as helping yourself. Money raised will help to ensure that these families will get the support they need to better cope with their journey.
